Shameless Self-promotion

It's
tempting to think that if you are clever and work hard then people will notice
and shower you with rewards. Tempting but probably not true. As well as being
clever and working hard you also need to be able to promote yourself. In this
workshop you will learn strategies for: putting yourself out there, asking for
what you want, taking responsibility – not waiting for it to happen, developing
your one minute pitch and presenting yourself effectively for promotions,
grants and awards.

This workshop will look at:

Asking
for what you want

Why
waiting isn't enough

Using
convincing language

Self-promotion

Networking,
mentoring and collaborating

Putting

Media
and other methods to communicate

Who
is it for: Academics,
researchers and RHD students.

Off campus students: The workshop will be recorded and
available from Blackboard.
